One of the things that support Barcelona the most at the moment is having a new striker and winger. It will greatly affect their performance in the match.

Recent signings are great for Barcelona. Aubameyang has good pace and Traore does too, Ferran Torres is a wonderkid and he has lot to offer so I think some of the these signings will be fruitful in future. I still don't think they are complete yet- maybe a strong midfielder is needed is what I feel but current midfield is decent too. Should work for them this season but they gotta think of it if they want to make a strong squad.

Xavi's arrival give them some relief, and they start in positive way with staying at fifth spot in league surely it's big achievement for them as they were struggling very badly and knocked out from Champions League most of the fans and peoples were feeling this is going to be disaster for them because they have too many issues on and off field but suddenly strong mentality and better planning give them good response.

Now, with arrival of a quality striker Aubameyang and few other signings surely going to have better impact on them and if they win against Atlético Madrid in their first challenge after arrival of new signings then surely they are going to have very strong case to staying on 3rd or fourth spot for rest of season and this is going to be big win situation for them after very disappointing start of this season.

The thing that seemed to me as a far possibility happened last night and Athletic Bilbao defeated and eliminated Real Madrid. But I didn't know that Benzema wasn't going to play in this game. This is a very crucial information because he scored many of their goals so far. He is one of the very important players for the team and even the most one. And it looks like there is a possibility for him not to play against PSG in the Champions League too. This would create a big problem for them surely.

This ATM vs Barcelona game is so tricky that its going to change the balances of the league in a single game. Obviously the winner could lose game and loser could win the next game and we would be back to where we are.

However, leaving that aside it would be basically Barcelona saying they are back and they are more than ready and their transfers actually meant something if they could somehow pull a win out of this game. If they can't and if ATM wins then it is basically a warning sign for Barcelona and they need to really pick it up in a way where anything other than 10+ wins for the rest of the season would be a terrible tragedy for the short period Xavi managed since if he does anything worse, he could be gone.

Both teams are in a similar situation as they struggle to stay in the top 4 until the end of the season. Atletico Madrid wants the win, while Barcelona also wants the same.

Barcelona may not necessarily be underdogs due to the arrival of new players, they can't score many goals and they have a weakness in defense which makes it difficult for them to defend when they have scored 1 or 2 goals. Xavi does have to be aware of any bad possibilities in this match, Atletico Madrid are a solid team and they are quite dangerous.

The only game today is Getafe - Levante. Getafe must be the absolute favourite of this game actually but their odd is around 1.90 now. It must be because Getafe also are one of the poor teams of this season. But there is a huge difference between these teams recently. Getafe have double the points Levante have in the standings now. Levante are at the last position now and they won only one game in the league so far. It is really horrible and an opportunity for Getafe to get another win. And I think they will make it but it will be by a small margin.

IIRC, Barcelona were at 9th-10th when Ronald Koeman was sacked but now they stand 5th on the table. Don't you feel that is a sign of improvement? Barcelona are on a road to recovery but yes its a long way to go if we compare what Barca used to be once. Their squad consists of young players but over the time they will get to a strong level. Its a long way to go but I think they are going in right direction. If you think that Barca out of the blue just gets world class players and becomes the best team in the world then that is impossible given the struggles they are facing right now. But still despite those struggles, the fact that they are putting so much effort and every player is making effort in the squad is really really commendable.

Your opinion makes sense in my opinion because the proof is that the strong vision that Xavi has formed to return to the top of the table is now becoming more and more real. Now Barcelona's struggle does not seem to be in vain because if they win against Atletico Madrid in the next match, they will take 4th place in the standings.

The young squad that Barcelona have at the moment just keeps them from winning a lot of games, but they don't lose too much but a draw doesn't really help. So far Barcelona have only won 9 times and drawn 8 times, they only need a win from Atletico Madrid to lead 2 points in 4th position. One of the things that support Barcelona the most at the moment is having a new striker and winger. It will greatly affect their performance in the match.

In the Getafe-Levante match, I bet the hosts will win. Getafe is certainly very keen to stay in La Liga, so any point loss against the weakest team in the league would be very painful. Will Levante still can fight to stay in the league? I do not believe it. This team lacks skill and character.

Levante is not a team that can beat anyone. The worst in the league, they can't score and they don't have a chance. Getafe is also a bad team, but I'm sure they will win this match very easily. They will do everything, I am sure they will play very well in this match.
Betting on this match will be a very good option. My choice is Getafe too Cheesy

The Copa del Rey was wonderful yesterday. Things happened in the opposite way I thought generally. Athletic Bilbao got a shocking win against Real Madrid by a very late goal. Real Madrid were really incapable of scoring any goal in the absence of Karim Benzema. He is still injured and he might be out for two more weeks. This might affect the team deeply when it comes to finding goals in critical matches. The Copa del Rey wasn't too important for them maybe but the Champions League is very crucial. And in the other match, Betis really tore Real Sociedad apart by 4-0. This was an amazing performance and result from Betis. I really appreciate their passion.

It feels like it's only this season that I see Levante so difficult to get good results even though indeed, Levante is not a strong team but basically I can't underestimate Levante in previous seasons. Now, Levante are ranked at the bottom of the standings so of course, against Getafe it will still be difficult for Levante to get points even though it's only for a draw I still doubt it.

Getafe - Levante
Elche - Alevas
Mallorca - Cadiz
Celta Vigo - Royal Vallecano

Awaiting period of 10 days is over since last match on 24th Jan. Except Royal Vallecano, all other teams are below in the table. Royal Valllecano will have chance to add up a win on the table against Celta Vigo. Alaves and Mallorca got an opportunity to add up a win after 5 matches. 2 more hours for Getafe and Levante to start with.

I really like seeing underdogs surprising the big boys, Madrid is too big to relay on one particular player, because benzema didn't play it results to Madrid losing is a shame, the deal Barcelona did for Aubameyang was great for all parties Barca did not take much risk and it can still be successful because he is a very good striker

Though I really believe Madrid can win this match at first.
their mistakes still continued and their mistakes were almost the same as when they lost against Elche the previous week. They are too focused on playing attacking so that when there is a quick counter attack they fail to back up the defense because their midfielders are too forward and only leave a few at the back.
They dominate but still no goals can be created

I would like to know what matches made you think that Barcelona are improving their level of play. In my opinion, they are degrading - returning to the outdated Tiki Taka strategy. With such a lineup of performers, this strategy is meaningless, plus it is 2022 now, most teams already know how to successfully counter it. As for transfers, yes, they will strengthen the team a little, but Atlético's squad is still better.

IIRC, Barcelona were at 9th-10th when Ronald Koeman was sacked but now they stand 5th on the table. Don't you feel that is a sign of improvement? Barcelona are on a road to recovery but yes its a long way to go if we compare what Barca used to be once. Their squad consists of young players but over the time they will get to a strong level.

Torres comes at the right time where he has made a positive contribution in Barcelona's attacking scheme. He's a good player and now some of the other players coming in will make the attack stronger. Traore has good pace on the flanks, while Aubameyang is still quite reliable as a centre-forward. I hope it will bring a breath of fresh air to Barcelona this season. Xavi must also dare to rotate Busquest in midfield with other players who have good speed and instincts like De Jong besides that he also has to provide opportunities to other players. Some match in my opinion Busquest are very slow, making the ball flow from the middle is not good. Pairing Gavi, De Jong and Nico/ Puig in the middle would probably result in a different performance.

You are truly a loyal fan to manage such details for Barcelona. I would prefer Busquets out for the Barcelona game against Atletico Madrid, it will be quite a tough game and will be a heavy burden for Xavi. Now, apart from Busquets, which position is suitable to provide a defense that can better cover Atletico's shock attack movements?

Real Madrid don't always win match as easily as the fans expect, it's impossible. But as one of the strongest teams in Laliga I believe their chances of winning are bigger despite the fact they can also lose like the last match vs Bibao in the Copa Del Rey. Previously Elche had also made it difficult for them, but fortunately Real Madrid won in extra time.

Real Madrid's defeat came as a surprise to me, but there is a kind of carelessness in this from Anceloti, who gave some of the main players a break. Benzema missed this match due to injury. It can be said that this is not so much essential, but as we can see, this time them don't lucky. Of the remaining four, I consider Betis to be the favorite, perhaps they look better than the rest, but this is a cup, just one match, everything is possible here.

It means that you have missed a lot of things and Barcelona has started everything from scratch again. Until now the existence of Barcelona will certainly do the best after all lost opportunities. In La Liga, there is an opportunity for El Barca to show more performance in addition to the presence of Arsenal players who are now the only hope to give the best even though it started with the case of Aubameyang who was not expected at Arsenal.

There are many Barcelona players who are quality players but are not confident enough during the game. Depay always performs well for his country, Dembele is also not too much in the opponent's penalty area so things like this make it difficult for Barcelona to score goals.

Torres comes at the right time where he has made a positive contribution in Barcelona's attacking scheme. He's a good player and now some of the other players coming in will make the attack stronger. Traore has good pace on the flanks, while Aubameyang is still quite reliable as a centre-forward. I hope it will bring a breath of fresh air to Barcelona this season.

Smart is not enough, there must be skills

Quote from: bering on February 04, 2022, 11:23:57 AM

It crossed in my mind why Barcelona didn't buy defender players in january because according to their statistics on 2021 their defend were not so good because several times lost with big score such as against Bayern but regardless all of it there is possibility this weekend Aubameyang will playing against Atletico as debut match and i'm curious to know whether he will playing well or not because there is different style between La liga and English league

If you follow the ins and outs of the development of clubs in La Liga, including Barcelona, you will know that since the pandemic, Barcelona has lost a lot of money and has also experienced many financial crises at the club. So let alone buying a defender, they are now only using Aubameyang from his free transfer at Arsenal, there is nothing left for an Aubameyang other than to Barcelona.

I haven't watched a lot of football matches this year, I just read a few news and was following a bit online Cheesy

I was very surprised to see the state of Barcelona. There is a huge difference in points with Real Madrid. Like many teams, Barcelona has also earned a very bad point in the league this year.
The next match will be a very difficult match with Atlético Madrid. I will definitely watch this match (:

@ hyudien is joining the gambling section now barcelona is seeing a major comeback after lots of worst games while Koeman was still the coach. you have definitely missed a whole lot. Barcelona are playing home against Athletico Maldrid and its obvious Athletico is the favourite. Barcelona might likely be seeing some goals in this clash as new players were signed in the just concluded transfer market

I think they should've at least buy one or two because some of their defenders are not worthy of playing in barcelona like lenglet not to mention that alves is a bit old and it will be difficult for him to keep such a high performance all season i think aubameyang can fit in barcelona he was really standing out when arsenal used to play short passes exactly like barcelona play style.
